Chapter 1: The Italian Guest

*Serena's POV*

~Flashback~
"Think carefully, should you reject the faith even this once the gates of paradise will forever be out of your reach." a voice echoed as I saw nothing but darkness.
"Do you think one who is among the faithful, would ever go so far as to summon someone like you?" I heard my beloved little brother say through the darkness. I was starting to get scared and worried of who or what he was talking to. I then heard the other voice chuckle and it sent shivers down my spin.

"I'll ask but once more, do you wish to form a contract with me?" said the voice and realized what was going on, I wanted to scream out but I was gaged and chain up with nothing but two small clothes to cover my womanhood and breast. "I do, now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal." I brother yell into the darkness. I looked around until I saw a pair of glowing red eyes and the figure of a man surrounded by a dark evil aura.
~End of Flashback~

"My lady it is time for you to wake up" Someone said while opening the curtain making the sunlight hit my face causing me to wake up and look up at a tall man dress in black. "Good morning my lady, I hope you slept well." The man said before walking over to my side of the bed to pour me a cup of tea.
"Yes I did, thank you for asking." I smiled. "So what's for breakfast today?" I asked with a warm smile on my face.

"For breakfast today we have a lightly poached salmon accompanied by a delicate mint salad. I can also offer toast, scones, or pain de camangne. Which dish would you care for this morning?" The man asked me as I sat up in my bed to drink my tea. "Umm...a scone, and is my brother awake?" I said tiredly.
"Yes my lady and yes the young master is up and waiting for you in the dining hall." He said with a smirk on his face. "Oh alright thank you, what is the schedule for today?" I asked getting up and going to my closet to pick out a dress. I picked out a dark blue dress (Dark Blue Victorian Dress) and a put it on.

"Today you and the young master have a meeting with Mr. Hugues the authority on the history of the Roman Empire, and this evening of the Poseidon Company will be pay you a visit." He said calmly helping me with my corset. "Oh..is that the man Ciel has in charge of stuffed animals in his factory in India?" I ask pulling the dress over me and then heading over to a chair so the man could brush my hair like he did every morning.
"Yes, I'm told he's Italian, we will of course offer him all the hospitality the estate can provide." He said calmly while brushing me hair. "Wait is also the man who sold the factory with telling Ciel?" I asked a little annoyed. The man just nodded his head and finished my hair.

"I shall await for you at the dining table my lady" he said before turning away and walking toward the door. I quickly grabbed a dart and threw it at him, he caught it in between his fingers like it was nothing. "Well throw my lady, even so lets save the games for later." He said looking straight at me with his crimson red eyes. "I guess your right Sebastian, tell Ciel I will be down in a moment." I said looking through the necklaces and picking the one I always wear (Phantomhive necklace). Sebastian left my room and I sat on my bed looking at the necklace, it was passed down to every lady of the family just like Ciel's ring was passed down to every head the the family.

I put on the necklace and walked downstairs and entered the dining hall to see a dart fly into the back of Finny's head and it had begun to bleed just a little. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow...what was that for master what did I do?" Finny asked as I took my seat and began to eat. "Nothing, I don't need to justify my actions." Ciel simply said drinking his tea. Suddenly Sebastian burst open the door and looked at the three servants.
"There you are. Have you finished weeding the courtyard Finny?" Sebastian said and Finny gasped like he had just remembered he had to do that.
"Mey-Rin have you washed all the beding?" Sebastian said to Mey-Rin while she stood there blushing and then put for forefingers together. "Umm...well..." she said nervously.
"Bardroy, shouldn't you be preparing for tonights dinner?" Sebastian said to him and Bardroy just put his hand on the back of his neck and smirked.
"Tanaka...well I suppose your alright as you are. Now all of you we have to time for thumb twiddling this morning, So get to work!" Sebastian yelled scaring the servants and making them run off to do their jobs. "Simply hopeless" Sebastian mumbled to himself as me and Ciel finished eating.

Ciel and I walked back toward the staircase when Ciel looked up at the portrait of our parents. Ciel and I both got our father's bluish grey hair and our mother's dark blue eyes, I put my hand on Ciel's shoulder and he just shrugged it off leaving me standing at the bottom of the staircase before I began to follow him again. We walked into his study and I sat on the couch as he sat down at his desk.
"So Ciel, what are we going to do about our guest this evening?" I asked with an evil smirk on my face. I loved scaring people who try to be sneaky with me and Ciel just because they think we are children. Ciel also smirked and looked at me with his one blue eye, as the other was covered by an eye patch. "I was thinking about playing your favorite game, how does that sound?" he said making me smirk wider.
"That sound like a wonderful idea little brother." I said making him chuckle. Ciel rang for Sebastian to come up and asked if I was hungry, I nodded my head a little as Sebastian entered the room. "You called master." Sebastian said calmly and looked at Ciel.

"Yes, Serena and I are a bit hungry. We would something sweet to eat." Ciel said with his elbows on his dest and his head rested on his hands. "You two shouldn't eat now." Sebastian looked over at me and smirked making me blush a little. "You don't want to spoil your appetite for dinner with your guest this evening" He said now looking back at Ciel.
"I don't care about that, make me a parfait." Ciel demanded. "I'm sorry, sir" Sebastian apologized calmly. Ciel got annoyed and got up and faced the window. "Fine then, about the portrait in the hallway..." Ciel stated. "Yes?" Sebastian questioned and I stood up and walked over next to Sebastian which caused him to smirk a little. "Take it down." Ciel demanded shocking both me and Sebastian. "I am Ciel Phantomhive son of Vincent. And I am the head of the house now." Ciel stated shocking me and Sebastian once again until Sebastian smirked and put his right hand over his chest and bowed. "Consider it done my Lord." He simply said before exiting the room leaving me and Ciel alone.

"Are you sure you want to take it down Ciel?" I asked walking closer to him and putting my hand on his shoulder. "Yes and don't try to make me change my mind." He snapped at me causing me to let go of his shoulder and take a few steps backward. "Fine if that is what you want..." I sadly said back to him "So tonight are we going to show our guest how I make my own entertainment with sneaky people?" I asked smirking and that caused him to turn around and also smirk.
"We will give him true Phantomhive hospitality" he stated evilly making me smile evilly. "Very well then Ciel until then I will be in the library have Sebastian come get me when the guest is here" I said to him before opening the door to leave. "Very well sister" he said calmly as I closed the door behind and walked to our library.

I chuckle to myself, "I will show what happens when you try to take advantage of us "
